The power of ‘unhurrying’

I called a friend last week to catch up. She recently moved cities and I wanted to know how things were going. I asked about her new commute to work, which she mentioned was a lovely walk. Oh, right, I said, you probably get to walk by the sea.

“Oh, well, that’s the scenic route. Takes about five minutes longer than my usual route, so I reserve it for special occasions only”.

Wait, what? I was baffled, laughing incredulously. Since when did a five-minute difference require a special occasion?

I know my friend loves the sea. It broke my heart to hear she didn’t feel she had five ‘extra’ minutes to ‘spare’ for a lovely walk to work every day.

And then… I found myself guilty of the same hurry.
